Product Description
An Advanced Super-Wide Sat Nav with Lifetime Maps and Traffic Alerts
The Nuvi 2595LMT is part of Garmin’s collection of advanced sat navs offering sophisticated features ideal for every-day use. The Nuvi 2595LMT has a super-wide 5” dual-orientation touchscreen display, comes with Euopean mapping, 3D traffic, lifetime maps, our unique Cyclops speed cameras and Bluetooth hands-free calling.
Packed with Advanced Navigation Features
PhotoReal Junction View shows every detail - even lampposts
Powered by Guidance 2
The Guidance 2 advanced navigation engine provides a fast, intuitive user interface for swifter, more accurate routing. It also has faster search facilities which make finding points of interest such as restaurants, hotels, airports and more, quicker as well as giving search suggestions.
Advanced navigation features are also introduced into the Guidance 2 range such as Garmin 3D Traffic and our exclusive split-screen PhotoReal Junction View for so you are prepared for upcoming exits and junctions.
You know exactly where and how long traffic jams are
Avoid Traffic Tie-Ups
To keep drivers moving, the Nuvi 2595LMT includes subscription-free 3D traffic for the lifetime of the product.
Delivered via traditional RDS-TMC, the service combines trafficTrends historic route data together with information on the current traffic situation to identify congestion and incidents on your planned journey. An astonishing 80 million sources are used to understand what’s happening on the roads, with comprehensive coverage of motorways and A roads across the UK and Europe. If there are queues, you’ll be offered an alternative route to avoid any delay.
FREE lifetime traffic updates may not be transferred to another person or another Garmin product. Lifetime traffic extends for the useful life of your Garmin traffic receiver (as long as you own a compatible Garmin GPS) or as long as Garmin receives traffic data from its traffic supplier, whichever is shorter. Traffic content not available for all areas.
Free Map Updates for Life
With Nuvi 2595LMT, you can drive reassured you’ve always got the most up to date maps, points of interest and navigation information on board. The very latest maps are available to download up to four times a year with no subscription or update fees.
Make and receive calls via Bluetooth
Hands-Free for Safer Driving
Nuvi 2595LMT comes with Garmin’s innovative voice-activated navigation so you can choose how you want to control it. Simply wake up the sat nav using your customised voice command and speak the menu options on the screen for totally touch-free navigation.
With built-in Bluetooth wireless technology, you can sync with your compatible mobile phone for hands-free phone calling and even access your phone book and call history via the sat nav - no need to look at, touch or even find your phone.
Know the Lane Before It's Too Late
Avoid confusion at tricky exits and junctions. Nuvi 2595LMT’s Lane Assist with PhotoReal Junction View shows the lane you need to be in at upcoming major junctions and exits with incredible detail of your surroundings right down to the trees, bridges and pylons. From a mile before the junction, the sat nav enters split screen mode to show your position on the map alongside a realistic depiction of your upcoming manoeuvre, with accurately reproduced road signs for confident navigation and reassurance you’re on track.
Know where the speed cameras are

I have upgraded from several Nuvis, including the Nuvi which is replaced by this one, the Nuvi 2460LT, and I am much happier with this latest Nuvi. And here's why:
Near instant re-routing when a wrong turn is taken - I have owned 4 other Nuvi's in my time, and I have never seen such fast re-routing, if I should take a wrong turn or attempt to vary my route when driving. Within two seconds this 2595LMT will recalculate a new route. This is most impressive, and shows that the processor in this and/or its coding is far superior to that used in previous models.
Lifetime Map updates - I am very happy with the way maps are updated on my Windows 7. My ISP does not use any form of "bandwidth shaping" or "protocol management" and so I am able to download and install entire maps from Garmin's servers in well under an hour. Others may not be aware that their ISP is to blame for any slowness in updating maps, and if so, I would strongly advise that you change your ISP to one that provides a 'clean connection' for your money, and you too will have no lengthy delays in updating maps from Garmin's servers. Any ISP that promises that they manage bandwidth for the majority of their users should be avoided as that simply means that they have under-invested in network capacity and must make up for such by slowing down how their customers use the internet!
Does this Garmin bring me down dodgy laneways etc.? No! I am in central London and so far, I have been pleased enough with its routing. Of course, it is no match for personal knowledge of short-cuts. But that would, I would argue, be expecting too much in a city of the size of London - never mind the fact that full European mapping is included. For this is a machine and must be given credit for bringing me on a relatively straightforward routing whenever I've called upon it to take me across London.
The Lifetime map upgrades are supported by advertising - is it intrusive? Not at all. And I absolutely abhor ads with a passion (when I was younger I tried to get into advertising, but apparently I was... 'not wanted', and so I've hated everything that advertising stands for with a passion ever since!). Trust me I really do hate ads, but the occasional ads which appear are tiny and barely noticeable, nor any distraction whatsoever. So full marks to Garmin for being sensitive as to drivers' needs when it came to how they would subsidise lifetime map updates. So far so good.
Does the Voice Control work well? Yes, I have had no difficulties using it. Although it is slightly different to the way it worked in the former Nuvi (which I had to return because it switched itself off occasionally when Voice was used). Before you had to speak the Town, then the street, then the house number, and then it would present a list of options which you could call out. In this latest Nuvi, you speak your destination all in one go and it would then attempt to calculate what you meant. More often than not, what I said would appear within the first four options which it returned as possibilities, and so I have been pretty happy so far with how it has worked. I will certainly use voice more and more for safety reasons in particular, as it is a very good reason to upgrade from another sat-nav - provided that you speak reasonably clearly. I would imagine that it would perform less well with muffled voices and strong accents.
I have had no problems with its mounting nor any aspect of this unit's performance. Nonetheless, thank you for your interest in my review, and I will be very happy, for the timebeing, to answer anyone's queries in the comments section below. Meanwhile, I would highly recommend this Nuvi over the four previous Nuvi's and one Tom Tom I've used.

Bought this as my old Tom Tom was very bulky and outdated. After reading reviews of Garmin generally decided to go with them rather than Tom Tom who charge for absolutely everything (map updates, traffic etc). The fact that map updates and traffic are included for the life of the unit persuaded me to buy this one. I had reason recently to undertake a trip from Northumberland to Beds, Bucks and Oxfordshire. The unit worked brilliantly including a traffic detour which saved me 30 minutes. It found and accurately directed me to the hotels that I stayed in. The voice command works perfectly and saves fiddling with the touch screen. I think some of the reviewers are being very picky, my understanding is that a human brain has the ability to ignore spurious directions and speed limits. This is a tool to help with driving directions not to replace common sense. You should have seen some of the routes my old Tom Tom tried to take me.
Overall a good product, speedily delivered by Amazon's partner and I would recommend it to anyone

I purchased this in the hope it was the answer to my satnav needs. But after downloading the detailed European map to it, it wouldn't work. The error was "Cannot access map data", meaning that none of the maps were avaiable. Despite waiting 30 mins for Garmin to answer their helpline, and spending 45 minutes with them on the phone, they were unable to fix it. They admitted they were having map software errors with this model wand stated they did not know what was causing it. They sent me several patches over email, all of which failed to fix the error. They came up blank and said the only way to progress was for them to connect remotely to my home PC for them investigate further. At that point I declined to proceed and have sent it back for a refund. Garmin should not release such products to the mass market until they have ironed out the software issues, or should be quicker at issuing patches for them for seemless uploading.
